Brief description of the Unit

In this course you will learn about the Intelligent Workflows that enable the Cognitive Enterprise, including information systems, services, and exponential technologies, and methodologies for their application. You will be required to apply your professional communications skills by critically analysing, and reflecting upon pseudo-client environment case studies, and making recommendations. Your attendance and participation in events such as seminars, workshops, expos and discussion forums will be critical to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in developing and pitching cognitive enterprise solutions. We provide unique opportunities for you to engage in authentic  learning through engagement with your local IT community and to develop clear direction for personal career goals.
